Considered Both Products
1Password
Chose 1Password
A chief marketplace competitor to 1Password is LastPass. While it is highly regarded and includes some features that 1Password currently doesn't (such as secure sharing), it fell victim to a substantial security breach in 2015, which has made me loathe to reconsider it.

Another …
Chose 1Password
The only other password manager that I have actually tried myself if LastPass, and it was quite a while ago. At the time, I was very unimpressed with the design of the app and the website. 1Password has always impressed me with their design. Also, LastPass only offered one way …
Chose 1Password
1Password and LastPass are presently quite comparable in terms of the feature set they offer to their users. Unfortunately, it is their pricing models that differ, and is the only reason we felt the need to switch to LastPass from 1Password. LastPass simply offered better …
Chose 1Password
We tried LastPass and Keypass. The thing is though, 1Password has a nice UI/UX and is very polished. Further, it has a nice mobile app which makes it very consistent for users to use. Keypass and LastPass are great solutions too, but they just didn't fit us as well as …
Chose 1Password
Initially, we did use LastPass. It is a good solution if the organization has solely Google based applications. 1Password integrates with multiple platforms, because of which it has a high level advantage over LastPass. Also, the encryption provided by 1Password is far better …
Chose 1Password
1Password, like LastPass, is a closed-source password manager that works with a subscription model. 1Password stands out against the others for its Watchtower feature that will automatically warn you if a password you're using has been leaked somewhere, if you're re-using a …
Chose 1Password
Prior to signing on to 1Password, I had only use Google Password Manager for SOME of my passwords. But it never provided an all-encompassing solution. I compared 1Password to LastPass when doing my initial research. I found the platforms to be comparable. LastPass, at least on …
Chose 1Password
I used LastPass many years ago, and not as an individual, and I found it a bit cumbersome and not intuitive (I was also on a PC with Windows at the time). 1Password feels like a professional program with small businesses in mind. I've also used Chrome and Safari's password …
Chose 1Password
[1Password] surpassed LastPass everywhere we tested. The autofilling of MFA codes was a big upside to our decision. We have a long track record with [1Password] and trust them for our password needs. We are trying to avoid Logmein products for a few reasons I will not share in …
Chose 1Password
1Password was ultimately selected due to the multiple security issues we have seen effect LastPass. We ended up not even evaluating LastPass due to the perception of them not being as secure as the alternatives.
Chose 1Password
LastPass had issues around shared logins, with users who were admins previously having edit only access to accounts, leaving our team with login access but no ability to change passwords or to assign a new admin. 1Password has easier work arounds for that issue and makes it …
Chose 1Password
1Password has more intuitive UX design when it comes to both online and desktop version of the application. All of these tools are similar when it comes to their core but for us 1Password has a slight user experience advantage (even though it can be a subjective feeling and …
Chose 1Password
I would say easy of use and easy of management for 1Password.
Chose 1Password
1password has more advanced web browser integrations, better corporate web interface, and better user experince.
Chose 1Password
I have been using 1Password for nearly 10 years now, so my experience with the competition is somewhat limited. However, I do use KeePass for a couple of clients who prefer not to pay for a password management solutions. KeePass has one major benefit over 1Password, in that it …
Chose 1Password
1Password is a far more mature and polished product than either of the main competitors. I tested both for ease of integration, features and usability and 1Password is the winner hands down. The ability to store family social security numbers and shared passwords has come in …
Chose 1Password
1Password had a stronger roster of companies that trusted them and a history of no security breaches. Additionally, we trust their security culture the most.
Chose 1Password
1Password is a better solution than LastPass and Dashlane. The Watchtower feature monitors your accounts for possible breaches, leaks, and weak passwords. 1Password is more affordable, has a great set of tools, and works seamlessly to help teams manage credentials. Unlinke LastP…
Chose 1Password
LastPass is a very similar app and we also recommend it as a second option. 1Password has more features, a better interface (in my opinion), and has been around longer. 1P knows the game better than any company out there.
Chose 1Password
I’ve used LastPass as a Chrome extension and the user interface was terrible. 1Password is more user-friendly and has a way better integration with the Apple ecosystem (they even provide an Apple Watch app).
Chose 1Password
There are a number of alternatives. In particular, I believe LastPass is its closest competitor, then you also have the built in browser password savers. Those are not, to me, a viable alternative, however, because they are not easy to port between machines (mobile or desktop). …
Chose 1Password
LastPass is a good free password manager for those just getting started. Its simple ability to share and manage passwords all in the cloud makes it an obvious alternative to 1Password. The only challenge is that it is browser based. For us, we needed a setup that allowed an app …
LastPass for Business
Chose LastPass for Business
1Password didn't have some of the security auditing features that LastPass had, and setting up two-factor authentication was also quite difficult at the beginning - which is why I chose to stay with LastPass. Also, it seems like LastPass invests a lot more than its competitors …
Chose LastPass for Business
I haven't used 1Password as much as I have LastPass, but in my experience with them, both are very similar in their functionality. We ended up going with LastPass because of two things: first off, the price is always a factor and LastPass came in cheaper. LastPass also had …
Chose LastPass for Business
Despite 1Password's better interface and a few extra features, like allowing the creation of multiple "vaults" (profiles) for different sets of passwords, it does not provide a free version. LastPass offers a very capable free version (including a smartphone app), which allows …
Chose LastPass for Business
To be 100% honest, I haven't tried 1Password but I've heard great things about it. I'm not aware of the differences or similarities, so I won't say much about that. What is different between other choices: Google Sheets: it's obvious how that might be insecure, you can't limit …
Chose LastPass for Business
I've used 1Password for business, albeit in a limited capacity compared to LastPass. They seem pretty comparable, but this seems like a game of firsts. Whomever you start with, you stick with. All I can say is you need password management as a business and LastPass works for …
Chose LastPass for Business
As I alluded to, I personally prefer 1Password's UI/UX, though it is about twice as expensive as LP ($7/month/user vs $3). However, it's hard to put a price on security. I always believe the less obtrusive/confusing security is to implement, the more likely that security won't …
Chose LastPass for Business
1Password is overall less enterprise ready, in my limited experience with their product. LastPass also offers more than 1Password in terms of related functionality, like their MFA & SSO options. LastPass is also less expensive than 1Password when comparing apples to apple, but …
Chose LastPass for Business
LastPass [for Business] is very similar to 1Password in terms of its scope, safety measures, and password management. If you have the funds, investing in LastPass for Business is very much worth it because of the on demand customer support, pre-recorded trainings and ease of …
Chose LastPass for Business
Before using LastPass for Business, I checked out 1Password to research its capabilities, but I didn't use it. I have to use Avira Password Manager for small-business certification and re-certification purposes because a small-business certifying entity requires it; Avira is …
Chose LastPass for Business
LastPass has a CLI, which was a must for us. Also, it was cheaper than 1Password and met our requirements. 1Password might be better, and maybe would've even been better for us in retrospect, but we were already familiar with LastPass from personal experience so it also made …
Chose LastPass for Business
1Password, from my previous experience, can be used in a business environment. However, it really is geared from an interface point of view for consumers, and not for business users. Also, the interface itself is not as robust as LastPass for Business, and when you are …
Chose LastPass for Business
1Password's UI is much better than LastPass, but the organization ability and share-ability are more complicated. Personally, I prefer 1Password. But for a business setting where sharing and security matter more, LastPass wins out. It's also less expensive.
Chose LastPass for Business
The combination of end-user experience, ease of use, and reporting features are what really set LastPass apart from the competition. Most other offerings have only a subset of features that LastPass offers. While big fish like Dashlane have feature parity, convenience for the …
Chose LastPass for Business
LastPass for Business is definitely a much better solution for our company's needs than the solutions provided by other password management software competitors. It is easy to use, and easy to log into to securely store important data. It is also nice that the entire ecosystem …
Chose LastPass for Business
We originally choose last pass for business due to its ease of use, simplicity, and its scalability. We eventually moved away from this software to Bitwarden for its higher customization levels and its also having everything we needed to get the job done at a cheaper price to …
Chose LastPass for Business
Easy to use and intuitive UI and experience. Feels trusted and secured seeing the company's motto and reputation with global clients. Tons of features and ease of accessing it with a large team. Device constraints are very limited as compared to any other password manager. …
Chose LastPass for Business
With the whole amount of features and options to save and remember your passwords, notes, emails addresses, card information, and others, LastPass for Business has become a nice partner on our daily and inevitable log ins in websites, apps and more, if you are looking for a …
Chose LastPass for Business
In my opinion, LastPass for Business is the best of breed. Other plugins are either bloated or not as robust as LastPass for Business on both desktop and mobile platforms.
Chose LastPass for Business
At the time of our evaluation, LastPass had the best integration with Active Directory and the most flexibility with enterprise security policies. In addition to these features, several employees had positive experiences with LastPass personal accounts. We did an extended >1mont…
Chose LastPass for Business
Many of the alternatives we reviewed featured similar functions and features but LastPass for Business kept outscoring those alternatives, especially due to its familiarity with our employees who already use LastPass for Personal use. LastPass for Business also seemed to have …
Chose LastPass for Business
I have used LastPass for the last 8 years and have no complaints. Currently, my company uses Dashlane, but I haven't gotten enough experience with it yet to review it. I love the ability to share passwords and secure notes with my coworkers, and then I can disable access …
Chose LastPass for Business
I've only tested the other two options, just at the beginning when I was trying to choose the one that best fit me. LastPass offered all I needed for free, so that's the one I've chosen.
Chose LastPass for Business
In terms of ease of use and browser support, LastPass blows them away. I switched from RoboForm and boy I wish I did it sooner. LastPass also isn't as intrusive as the others, and you really don't need to "manage" it. It just sits in the background doing its job. Others I …

1password and LastPass for Business are password management solutions that companies use to make sure employees have secure passwords that will not become compromised. Businesses of different sizes use both password management solutions.

1Password has features to protect user passwords while traveling off-network, so businesses where work involves travel often use 1Password. In contrast, LastPass for Business includes features to change passwords and fill in login information on websites automatically. As a result, businesses where users have many passwords can take advantage of LastPass for business’ automation tools to save time.

Features

Both 1Password and LastPass for Business provide key password management features such as password generation and autofill. In addition to the core features, both password management solutions also have some standout features.

1Password does security checks on every website that users visit. This feature, called “watchtower” helps to ensure that passwords aren’t compromised and warns users if they should change their password. 1Password also features a travel mode to protect sensitive passwords when using other networks. Users can select essential passwords, and when they leave the network, the passwords are removed until they return.

LastPass for Business offers reliable automation tools that fill in the login information for a site as soon as it is visited to save time for users. Many popular sites are covered by LastPass for Businesses automated password change feature, which updates passwords for sites automatically to keep accounts as secure as possible. Lastly, LastPass for Business includes password sharing features on its cheapest plans.

Limitations

Though 1Password and LastPass for Business offer robust password management features, there are a few areas where they have limitations as well.

1Password lacks the automation tools provided by LastPass for Business. Additionally, the Windows version of the 1Password software is updated at a slower pace than the Mac version, meaning Windows users may lag behind in features. Password reset can also be difficult using 1Password. Users have to reach out to the administrator to reset passwords, rather than having an automated system in place.

LastPass for Business does not offer an offline storage option. Lack of offline storage can be a problem for organizations that are wary of online password storage. LastPass for Business also doesn’t include a travel storage option. Lastly, multiple browser extensions are required to use LastPass for Business on multiple browsers, rather than a standalone app.

Pricing

Both 1Password and LastPass for Business offer free trials where users can test the products for a limited time before deciding if either is right for them. LastPass for Business provides a free version for individual users.

1Password has three pricing tiers for businesses. The Teams package costs $3.99 per month per user and comes with basic password management features, including password vaults and two-factor authentication. The Business package costs $7.99 per month per user and includes advanced protection features that administrators can enable. The Enterprise package is priced depending on the business and includes a dedicated account manager and setup training.

LastPass for Business offers four packages for businesses. The Teams package contains basic password management features for small businesses and costs $4.00 per user per month. After that, the enterprise package includes improved integrations and administration features for $6.00 per user per month. The Identity package includes authentication features as well as password management features for $8.00 per user per month. For businesses that need authentication but not password management, the MFA package includes authentication features for $3.00 per user per month.

1Password is a great tool when it comes to data security and managing your passwords. It is perfect for daily work that requires accessing a lot of different login credentials to different softwares, servers etc., so it is a great tool for all web developers and programmers, but also to project managers and other employees that have to login to multiple different services regularly.

LastPass
Honestly, I cannot think of a scenario where LastPass is less appropriate for business use. LastPass has done nothing but help me complete my day to day work in a much more efficient manner. Due to LastPass I no longer have to try and remember my user IDs and password and I save time by not having to type the data into the user ID and password fields. This is exceptionally helpful for me as I work in IT/Software Support and I am logging in and out of the same websites numerous times a day.

Pros
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
  • Convenient secure access to my passwords anywhere.
  • Auto-generates secure long random passwords I would never be able to remember with so many I have to keep track of.
  • It's a small thing, but the numbers and punctuation are shown in different colors so you never need to wonder if it's a zero or a capital O.
  • Keywords let me organize my passwords however I want, by client, by function, whatever, the choice is up to me.
  • A handy place to keep contacts and all kinds of other data besides just passwords. Can add any fields I want, even attach files in the secure vault.

  • Ability to store multiple different logins for one site for assistants that work under multiple solicitors.
  • Ability to share passwords between staff when needed without them being sent by email or simply passed around on notes, making it much more secure.

Cons
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
  • 1Password is so secure, that it lacks a self-managed "forget your password" functionality which means that as a manager, I have to approve password resets which may slow down some users.
  • On Chrome, the extension sometimes stops working when the browser is updated.

LastPass
  • It does not work for all platforms. some secure platforms are still managing to avoid the usage of platforms like these.
  • Sometimes we add passwords and we have to do it a few times for them to show in the selected folder.
  • I have nothing else.

LastPass
LastPass has been a game changer for me. I keep more than 100 passwords for financial sites for my company and many of those sites will automatically log you out if you've been idle for 10 or 15 minutes. Typing and re-typing credentials is not only extremely inefficient, but it also adds the risk that you could type them incorrectly and have your account locked. LastPass fills in all my credentials automatically and helps me to generate secure passwords for new sites. I will always want this software on my machine because it makes my life so much easier.

Usability
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
The 1Password app design is top notch, much better than a couple other password managers I've looked at. The app and service are very flexible, allowing for many different types of data storage. The browser extensions generally work very well, allowing for easy access to login information while using pretty much any modern web browser.

I login to LastPass when I turn on my computer in the morning and I use it throughout the day. I cannot express how much easier, quicker, smoother (running out of adjectives) this is than our old Excel spreadsheet. I don't bookmark pages anymore, I put them in last pass as all I have to do is search for the site name, press launch and because I have auto signin for most of the sites, I'm in and doing my business in seconds. Truly a blessing!

I have never had any issues with 1Password and they have always been able to answer my questions adequately resolve my issues. Furthermore, they have a robust peer forum that can be accessed.

Haven't had to directly contact support all that much (at least not me personally, I don't know that anyone else on the team has needed to) but the Help Desk options/resources and documentation available are enough to answer any questions, although for what it's worth, the contact support options are not hard to find, and aren't hidden like some sites have it. Additionally, free new user training is offered for those who want it.
